Hi Brian, we do upgrade existing mappings converting the old format to the new one. That means whenever a mapping contains the old format, the get mapping will output the new one anyway. That works for existing mappings, as well as for new mappings added using the old format.
That said I'd recommended to switch to the new format anyway, something that you have already done. Well done then ;) On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 6:39 PM, InquiringMind <[email protected]>wrote: > Luca, > > Thanks for the quick confirmation! > > One quick question: the doc also says that: > > Existing multi-fields will be upgraded to the new format automatically. > > I assume that this means that existing indices with multi-field mappings > will be OK, but whenever I create a new index and add multiple mappings for > a new field, I must use the new syntax and not the old syntax.
